It\'s a mega-show, y\'all!

\\n

First up, Dale, Scott & Steve welcome folk-rock singer Tom Goss and Washington, DC-based artist Scott Brooks to the studio as their special guest co-hosts. The guys are promoting their new collaborative and quite creative music video for Tom\'s song, Make Believe. You\'ve GOT to see it to believe it (it\'s at the bottom of this page) and then listen to how they made it. Plus, we learn more about Tom\'s infectious music and Scott\'s sometimes-disturbing oil paintings.

Then, all the guys discuss all the gays that were elected this past week; Scott\'s trip to New Orleans; why Dale hates every movie ever made; the fact that Tom has wide feet; where the otters should go to party; how much Dorothy\'s dress fetched at auction; how we should split the U.S. into two countries; who was giving away hundreds of free vibrators in the city today; and much, much more comment on pop culture and the news of the week.

After that, we turn over the show to Justin Luke--our Gay-on-the-Ground in New York City--while he chats with Manhattan\'s hilarious and beautiful showbiz spitfire Paige Turner. They discuss So You Think You Can Drag, Drag in a Bag, Slurp Sundays, how Paige is the most-merchandised drag queen, music videos, how to get boys naked and what\'s new this fall! This chick never sleeps and she\'s got TONS going on. It\'s a fun little chat from the streets of Hell\'s Kitchen. (Oh, and don\'t forget to check out one of her silly parody videos below.) Justin & Paige kick off at the 37:40 minute mark.

And finally, we\'ve got a conversation with Los Angeles\' DJ Paul V (aka Paul Vitagliano) and his spectacular new book, Born This Way: Real Stories of Growing Up Gay. Learn how the popular deejay and music reviewer started the blog of the same name and how that became this must-read and must-gift tome. Featuring both hilarious and heartbreaking memories of growing up LGBTQ--and featuring the likes of columnist Michael Musto, RuPaul Drag Races\' Raja, Erasure\'s Andy Bell and many more. Hear Scott & Paul chat at the 1:02:30 mark. So, folks, this episode is a hefty one, but we think you\'ll have a laugh or three...and learn something, too. Stream or download it now and listen up!
